In Vivo Model
Adult male SD rats (250-300 g) were purchased from Charies River (Beijing, China). The animals were placed in laboratory cages, kept on a 12-h light-dark cycle, and had free access to food and water throughout the study. The rats were randomly assigned to the sham (only the left neck was exposed without ligation) group, MACO group, and sevo + MACO (2.5% sevoflurane before refusion) group. The MCAO model was made by a modified nylon suture method. After 1 h of ischemia, the suture was gently pulled to the beginning of the external carotid artery and re-perfused for 24 h. For sevoflurane postconditioning, rats were stabilized in a gas-tight anesthesia chamber with sevoflurane inhalation for 1 h at the onset of blood refusion. Sevoflurane (AbbVie, Japan) was delivered at a concentration of 2.5% through a vaporizer (Vapor 2000, Germany). In the sham or MCAO group, rats were only exposed to the mixed gas (95% O2 and 5% CO2).

In Vivo Model
Parental MHCC97L cells (2 x 106 cells/mouse) were subcutaneously injected into the 4-to-5-week-old NOD-SCID mice. When the tumours reached a volume of around 50-100 mm3 (calculated by the formula 4/3(D/2)(d/2)2, where D and d represent the minor and major axis of the tumour, respectively), the maximum tolerated dose of sorafenib (50 mg/kg) was given to the mice by oral gavage daily until the drug resistance occurred, denoted as the drug resistant group. For the control, the wild type group was treated with the vehicle (0.5% CMC-Na). The tumour size and body weight were measured every 3 days.

Response Description Sorafenib treatment triggered ferroptosis via lipid ROS production and chelatable iron accumulation. The ETS1 upregulated by sorafenib was a key transcription factor of miR-23a-3p that directly enhanced miR-23a-3p expression. MiR-23a-3p recognized and bound to ACSL4 3UTR to limit lipid ROS production, thus attenuating sorafenib-induced ferroptotic cell death in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Adult male mice (C57BL6) aged 12 weeks were purchased from HUAFUKANG Bioscience Co, Ltd (Beijing, China) and housed in controlled temperature with free access to water and standard pellet chow. The animal studies were approved by the General Hospital of Northern Theatre Command Animal Care Committee. All experiments were carried out in accordance with institutional regulations and in adherence with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals issued by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH Publication, 8th Edition, 2011). Additionally, the study was reported in accordance with ARRIVE guidelines. After an accommodation period of 7 days, the mice were randomly assigned into the following groups (n = 18/group): control group, control + Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1)/Erastin/EX527 group, ethanol (EtOH) group, EtOH + Fer-1 group, EtOH + Icar group, EtOH + Icar + Erastin group, EtOH + Icar + EX527 group.

Response Description Icariin activated atrial SIRT1-Nrf-2-HO-1 signaling pathway, while EX527 not only reversed these effects, but also abolished the therapeutic effects of icariin. Moreover, the stimulatory effects on GPX4, SLC7A11 and the suppressive effects on ACSL4, P53 conferred by icariin were blunted by EX527 treatment. These data demonstrate that ferroptosis plays a causative role in the pathogenesis of ethanol-induced atrial remodeling and susceptibility to atrial fibrillation.

Female BALB/c nude mice (6weeks old and 18-22 g weight) were purchased from the Model Animal Research Center of Nanjing University. A431 cells (5 x 106) in cold DMEM (50 ul) were mixed with Matrigel (50 ul) and injected into mice subcutaneously. After 6 days, the tumor volume was measured and the mice were assigned to three groups. Mice were treated with either normal saline or itraconazole (40 mg/kg oral twice daily; 80 mg/kg oral twice daily).

    Click to Show/Hide
Response Description Itraconazole inhibited the cell proliferation, induced apoptosis and blocked cell cycle of Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma cells. And 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 1 (HMGCS1) and acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) were significantly upregulated in A431 cells treated with itraconazole. Itraconazole may induce ferroptosis via HMGCS1/ACSL4 axis in A431 cells.

Male C57BL/6J mice (6-8 weeks of age, weighing 18-22 g) were provided by at the Centre for Animals of Central South University (Changsha, China). To prepare the seizure mouse model, the mice underwent the intrahippocampal injection of KA as described in our previous investigation. For short, mice were anesthetized with sodium phenobarbital (50 mg/kg, i.p.) and carefully placed on a stereotaxic apparatus. Then, KA (1 uL, 250 ng/uL dissolved in saline) was stereotactically injected into the hippocampus according to the following coordinates: anteroposterior -2.0 mm; lateral -1.3 mm; dorsoventral -1.2 mm. After injection, the infusion needle was kept in place for 5-10 min to avoid liquid reflux. Mice in the control group underwent the same surgical procedure but received injection with an equal volume of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) instead of KA.

For in vivo experiments, the eyes in each group (n = 6) were enucleated carefully and processed for indirect immunofluorescence in whole-mount or cross-section as previously described. For cryosections, the eyes (n = 3 retinae from 3 mice) were fixed in 4% PFA at room temperature for 15 min. The frozen samples were then sliced transversely (6 um) at -20. For retinal flat-mounts, the eyes (n = 3 eyes from 3 mice) were fixed in 4% PFA at room temperature for 15 min, and the retinae were dissected out as cups. Both cryosections and retinal cups were blocked with PBS containing 0.5% Triton-X100 and 5% BSA at 4 overnight and included with the anti-CD31 and anti-GPX4 (1:100, ab125066, Abcam) primary antibodies.

Response Description ZFAS1 may act as a competing endogenous RNA by competitively binding with microRNA-7-5p (miR-7-5p) and modulating the expression of its downstream molecule acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4), which is now identified as a classic driver gene of ferroptosis process. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that HG-induced ZFAS1 elevation activates ferroptosis in hRECs and the ZFAS1/miR-7-5p/ACSL4 axis may serve as a therapeutic target for endothelial dysfunction in diabetic retinopathy.

Dorsal incisions of both left and right sides were made to expose kidneys. The right kidney artery was gently separated with cotton swabs and occluded with a microvascular clamp to induce renal ischemia for 45 min. The left renal pedicle clamping and ischemia were the same as right. After ischemia, the micro-aneurysm clips were removed to start the reperfusion. The wounds were sutured and resuscitated with warm sterile saline intraperitoneally. All operations were the same in the sham group except for clamping and ischemia.

Adult male Sprague Dawley rats (3 months old, 200 g) purchased from the Animal Center of Nanjing University were housed at a controlled temperature of 18-22 and humidity of 50-70% under a 12-h light/dark cycle with free access to food and water. Before the operation, the rats were fasted overnight with free access to water. At the beginning of the operation, the rats were intraperitoneally injected with chloral hydrate (0.5 ml/100 g) for sedation) and 5% additional first dose for unsatisfactory sedation and made to inhale isoflurane for anesthesia. After incising the skin, the muscle was carefully separated layer by layer, and the trachea was exposed and fixed locally with a self-made pull hook. The trachea was then cut with a 10 ml syringe needle. The anesthesia mask was then replaced with the tracheal intubation. The ventilator was connected to the anesthesia machine for isopentane inhalation (2%). The proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD) was ligated using a 6.0 Prolene suture to induce myocardial ischemia. A small semi-cylindrical plastic hose was inserted to the LAD to facilitate the opening of the knot during reperfusion and to reduce the mechanical damage to the heart tissue and blood vessels. About 5 min later, the chest cavity was temporarily closed with a non-damaging hemostatic clip. After 30 min of ischemia, the noninjury hemostatic clip was loosened, the ligation and the protective tube were removed for reperfusion, and the chest was closed. The rats in the sham group underwent the same operation without being subjected to MI/R.

In Vivo Model
For in vivo experiments, the eyes in each group (n = 6) were enucleated carefully and processed for indirect immunofluorescence in whole-mount or cross-section as previously described. For cryosections, the eyes (n = 3 retinae from 3 mice) were fixed in 4% PFA at room temperature for 15 min. The frozen samples were then sliced transversely (6 um) at -20. For retinal flat-mounts, the eyes (n = 3 eyes from 3 mice) were fixed in 4% PFA at room temperature for 15 min, and the retinae were dissected out as cups. Both cryosections and retinal cups were blocked with PBS containing 0.5% Triton-X100 and 5% BSA at 4 overnight and included with the anti-CD31 and anti-GPX4 (1:100, ab125066, Abcam) primary antibodies.

Response Description ZFAS1 may act as a competing endogenous RNA by competitively binding with microRNA-7-5p (miR-7-5p) and modulating the expression of its downstream molecule acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4), which is now identified as a classic driver gene of ferroptosis process. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that HG-induced ZFAS1 elevation activates ferroptosis in hRECs and the ZFAS1/ miR-7-5p/ACSL4 axis may serve as a therapeutic target for endothelial dysfunction in diabetic retinopathy.

Mating was setup 2 days prior to injection day and zebrafish embryos were collected and incubated in E3 embryo medium (5 mM NaCl, 0.17 mM KCl, 10 mM HEPES, 0.33 mM MgSO4·7H2O, 0.33 mM CaCl2·6H2O, and 0.00001% methylene blue) containing 0.2 mM N-phenyl-thiourea (PTU) (catalog no: P7629, Sigma-Aldrich). Two days post-fertilization, the chorion was removed manually using fine forceps, and the embryos were anesthetized using E3 medium containing 200 mg/L Ethyl 3-aminobenzoate methanesulfonate (Tricaine) (catalog no: A5040, Sigma-Aldrich). Anesthetized embryos were mounted in 0.7% low melting agarose containing 200 ug/ml of Tricaine and were microinjected with 500 cells in the yolk sac using Nanoject III (catalog no: 3-000-207; Drummond Scientific Company, PA, USA). At 1 day post-injection (dpi), embryos with similar graft size were selected and imaged using both bright field and RFP channels and incubated in E3-PTU medium containing 5 ug/ml doxycycline at 34 until further imaging. At 4 dpi, embryos were anesthetized and imaged again using both bright field and RFP channels using Olympus IX-73 microscope. Cells that migrated outside the yolk sac (injection site) were represented by a notable fluorescent dot and considered a metastatic event; these were counted manually for all embryos in each experimental group.

All athymic nude mice (6-week-old) were purchased from Jiesijie (Shanghai, China). To generate routine cell-derived xenograft (CDX) mouse models, established LUAD cells (initial 5 x 106) were subcutaneously injected into the bilateral dorsal flank of athymic nude mice. To generate H1975/A549 cell-implanted intrapulmonary LUAD mice, athymic nude mice were intrapulmonarily injected with cells (5 x 106) under anesthesia and then intranasally administered adeno-associated virus 5 (AAV5) particles (2 x 1012 viral particles/mL, Genomeditech, Shanghai, China) 3 weeks later. To generate patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mouse models, fresh LUAD tissues with a size of 2-3 mm3 were subcutaneously implanted into athymic nude mice. After successful passage, the PDX mice were used for further studies.

Response Description Intracellular cir93FABP3 interactions are critical to upregulate FABP3 to reduce global AA via reactions with taurine. The product of AA and taurine (i.e., NAT) prevents AA incorporation into the plasma membrane, thus further reducing the opportunity for PUFA peroxidation in the membrane. NAT reduces ACSL4, LPCAT3 and PLTP. Exosome and cir93 are critical to desensitize lung adenocarcinoma to ferroptosis.

Response Description Schematic diagram showing that HIF-1 induces lncRNA-CBSLR to recruit YTHDF2 protein and CBS mRNA to form CBSLR/ YTHDF2/CBS complex, which in turn decreases CBS mRNA stability in an m6A dependent manner. The decreased CBS expression reduced methylation of ACSL4 protein, thus, the protein is degraded via the ubiquitination-proteasome pathway. Hypoxia inducible lncRNA-CBSLR modulates ferroptosis through m6A-YTHDF2-dependent modulation of CBS in gastric cancer.

The sepsis mouse model was established by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) of male C57BL/6 mouse (6-8 weeks, Guangzhou Animal Medical Center). Firstly, the mice were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of 4% chloral hydrate (0.1 ml/10g). The cecum was found by cutting a 1 cm longitudinally in the abdomen of the mice, and ligating the cecum from the end of the cecum to half the length of the ileocecal valve with 5-0 silk suture. Then a 21 G needle was used to puncture the ligature and the midpoint of the cecum once, and finally the wound was sutured. In the sham operation group, only laparotomy was performed, without ligation and perforation of the cecum. All animal-related experiments in this study were approved by hospital ethics committee according to following the Nation Institutes of Health Guide for the Laboratory Animals Care and Use (approval No. Med-Eth-Re [2022] 168).

Five-week-old male BALB/c mice were purchased from SLC Japan (Shizuoka, Japan). The animals were maintained in a pathogen-free animal facility under a 12 h light/dark cycle in a temperature (22 )- and humidity-controlled environment, in accordance with the institutional guidelines approved by the Committee for Animal Experimentation of Nara Medical University, Kashihara, Japan, following the current regulations and standards of the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (approval no. 12924, 5 November 2020). Animals were acclimated to their housing for seven days before the start of the experiment. For the peritoneal dissemination tumor model, CT26 cancer cells (1 x 107 in 0.2 mL per mouse) were injected into the mouse peritoneal cavity. To measure tumor weight, mice were euthanized on Day 12 and the tumors were excised, while the peritoneal tumors were dissected from the intestine, mesenterium, diaphragm, and abdominal wall, with gross removal of non-tumor tissues. The largest tumor was formed on the diaphragm, and paraffin-embedded sections of the excised diaphragmatic tumor were prepared and stained with hematoxylin-eosin. BBR was diluted with distilled water to produce a final concentration of 48 mg/mL. The solutions were ultrasonically treated for 1 h, and fully vortexed for 30 min. BBR solution was administered by free drinking. The intake calculated from the amount of water consumed was 15.2 mg/kg body weight/day.

The nude mice were kept under specefic pathogen free (SPF) conditions for one week, and 5x107 Hela cells were injected under the left axillary skin after acclimatization. The tumors of Hela cell-inoculated mice were measured every 3 days after modeling, and tumor>=0.5 cm in diameter were considered successful. The tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into control group (n = 6), 40 mg/kg OA group (n = 6) and 80 mg/kg OA group (n = 6). 40 mg/kg OA group and 80 mg/kg OA group both received subcutaneous injection modeling and control mice received saline intraperitoneal injections. The 40 mg/kg OA group and 80 mg/kg OA group received daily intraperitoneal injections of 40 mg/kg OA and 80 mg/kg OA for 15 days.

    Click to Show/Hide
Response Description Oleanolic acid (OA) significantly reduced the viability and proliferative capacity of Hela cells. OA activated ferroptosis in Hela cells by promoting ACSL4 expression, thereby reducing the survival rate of Hela cells. Therefore, promotion of ACSL4-dependent ferroptosis by OA may be a potential approach for the treatment of cervical cancer.

Male diabetic db/db mice and nondiabetic littermate db/m mice that were 4 weeks of age were purchased from Changzhou Cavens Experimental Animal Co., Ltd. After 1week of adaptive feeding, 20 db/db mice were randomly divided into two groups: a model group (db/db, n = 10) and a treatment group (LIRA, n = 10). Another 10 db/m mice were used as the control group (db/m, n = 10). After feeding to 10weeks old, the LIRA group was given liraglutide (CSN11311, CSNpharm, China) diluent (200 ug/kg/d) by intraperitoneal injection for 5 weeks, with equivoluminal 0.9% saline intraperitoneally administered to the other two groups.

    Click to Show/Hide
Response Description Liraglutide was shown to prevent ferroptosis in the hippocampus by elevating the expression of GPX4 and SLC7A11 and suppressing the excessive amount of ACSL4. LIRA can reduce oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation and iron overload in diabetes-induced cognitive dysfunction and further inhibit ferroptosis, thereby weakening the damage to hippocampal neurons and synaptic plasticity and ultimately restoring cognitive function.

Response Description L. lactis MG1363-pMG36e-GLP-1 exerts neurotrophic effects via activating the Keap1/Nrf2/GPX4 signalling pathway to down-regulate ACSL4 and up-regulate FSP1 to suppress ferroptosis. These results indicated that the neurotrophic effects of the next-generation probiotics L. lactis MG1363-pMG36e-GLP-1 against MPTP-induced Parkinsonism are mediated by modulating oxidative stress, inhibiting ferroptosis, and redressing dysbiosis.

The mice (23-25 g, 8-10 weeks old) were subjected to transientmiddle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) to induce cerebral ischemia as previously described protocol . Briefly, mice were anesthetized with intraperitoneal injection of pentobarbital sodium (60 mg/kg) and subcutaneous injection of meloxicam (10mg/kg) during tMCAO operation. Monofilament with a silicon coating on the tip and a diameter of 0.12 mm (A5-122, Beijing Cinontech Co. Ltd., China) was inserted into the ICA from CCA to occlude the middle cerebral artery (MCA) for 1.5 h. The suture was then removed to restore blood flow for another 22.5 h reperfusion. Sham control mice were subjected to similar surgical operations without MCA occlusion. Specifically, the monofilament was inserted only 5 mm above the carotid bifurcation and withdrew immediately in the Sham group.

They were randomly grouped as follows: (1) intratracheal saline (control group); (2) intraperitoneal deferoxamine (DFO, Sigma-Aldrich; DFO group); (3) intratracheal bleomycin (BLM, Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd.; BLM group); and (4) intratracheal BLM plus intraperitoneal deferoxamine (BLM + DFO group). They were intratracheally injected with 50 ul of BLM (5 mg/kg) on day 0. For the preventive anti-fibrotic treatment, DFO (50 mg/kg2 day-1) was administered from day 0 to day 20. Lung samples were collected at day 21.

Response Description Bleomycin (BLM) can induce the inhibition of cellular GPX4, leading to the generation of lipid ROS. Besides, BLM treatment significantly increased the expression levels of ACSL4 but similarly decreased those of FSP1. TfR1 expression was significantly increased by BLM treatment but decreased by BLM + DFO treatment. These findings indicate that iron metabolism disorder, iron deposition, and ferroptosis in ATII cells may be involved in the pathogenesis of BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis.

Response Description Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate (EGCG) supplementation and Fer-1 treatment apparently increased the protein expression of GPX4 and markedly decreased the protein expression of COX-2 and ACSL4 in the livers of HFD-fed mice. Epigallocatechin gallate may exert protective effects on hepatic lipotoxicity by inhibiting mitochondrial reactive oxygen species-mediated hepatic ferroptosis. Findings from our study provide new insight into prevention and treatment strategies for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease pathological processes.

In this study, 30 male Sprague Dawley rats (325-375 g) anesthetized using pentobarbital (1.5 g/kg, i.p.) were used for heart infarct studies,Western blot analysis, and qPCR. The isolated hearts were perfused in a Langendorff system. A water-filled latex balloon was inserted into the left ventricle cavity via mitral valve and linked to a physiological pressure transducer (AD Instruments, MLT884) for continuous monitoring of left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP) and end diastolic pressure (LVEDP). Left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) was calculated as the difference between LVSP and LVEDP (LVDP = LVSP-LVEDP). Measurements were recorded using PowerLab system and Chart 8 software (ADInstrument, Bella Vista, New South Wales, Australia). The hearts were stable for 30 min, and then subjected to 45 min of global ischemia by halting perfusion, followed by 1 h of reperfusion with Krebs-Henseleit (KH) bicarbonate buffer gassed with 95% O2, 5% CO2 at 37 (pH 7.4). The infarcted myocardium was measured using triphenyltetrazolium chloride(TTC, 25 mg/mL) staining. The KH buffer containing 118 mM NaCl, 4.8 mM KCl, 1.2 mM KH2PO4, 1.2 mM MgSO4, 25 mM NaHCO 31.3 mM CaCl2, and 11 mM glucose was filtered through a 0.22 uM pore before use.

Sixty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats (2 weeks), weighing 20-30 g. All animals were brought from the Institute of Medical Laboratory Animals at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and were kept in the same unit in a temperature-controlled environment [(22 ± 1) ]. The rats were fasted for 12 h before the experiment and drank water freely. After being numbered according to body weight, the rats were randomly divided into four groups using the random number table. The number of rats in each group was 16. The experimental groups were as follows: sham-operated group (S group, n = 16), the model group receiving HIR (HIR group, n = 16), sevoflurane group treated (HIR + Sev group, n = 16), and desferrioxamine treated group [deferoxamine (HIR + Sev + DFO) group, n = 16]. In HIR+Sev and HIR + Sev + DFO groups, rats were placed in an anesthetizing chamber and exposed to 3.6% sevoflurane (Cayman, 23996, USA) with complete oxygen for 2 h, and sham and HIR group rats were conducted with the same procedure without sevoflurane exposure. DFO (100 mg/kg, MCE, HY-B0988, China) was administered continuously daily for 6 days before surgery in the HIR + Sev + DFO group. Other groups were given equal amounts of saline.

Adult male SD rats (250-300 g) were purchased from Charies River (Beijing, China). The animals were placed in laboratory cages, kept on a 12-h light-dark cycle, and had free access to food and water throughout the study. The rats were randomly assigned to the sham (only the left neck was exposed without ligation) group, MACO group, and sevo + MACO (2.5% sevoflurane before refusion) group. The MCAO model was made by a modified nylon suture method. After 1 h of ischemia, the suture was gently pulled to the beginning of the external carotid artery and re-perfused for 24 h. For sevoflurane postconditioning, rats were stabilized in a gas-tight anesthesia chamber with sevoflurane inhalation for 1 h at the onset of blood refusion. Sevoflurane (AbbVie, Japan) was delivered at a concentration of 2.5% through a vaporizer (Vapor 2000, Germany). In the sham or MCAO group, rats were only exposed to the mixed gas (95% O2 and 5% CO2).

In Vivo Model
Parental MHCC97L cells (2 x 106 cells/mouse) were subcutaneously injected into the 4-to-5-week-old NOD-SCID mice. When the tumours reached a volume of around 50-100 mm3 (calculated by the formula 4/3(D/2)(d/2)2, where D and d represent the minor and major axis of the tumour, respectively), the maximum tolerated dose of sorafenib (50 mg/kg) was given to the mice by oral gavage daily until the drug resistance occurred, denoted as the drug resistant group. For the control, the wild type group was treated with the vehicle (0.5% CMC-Na). The tumour size and body weight were measured every 3 days.

Response Description Sorafenib treatment triggered ferroptosis via lipid ROS production and chelatable iron accumulation. The ETS1 upregulated by sorafenib was a key transcription factor of miR-23a-3p that directly enhanced miR-23a-3p expression. MiR-23a-3p recognized and bound to ACSL4 3UTR to limit lipid ROS production, thus attenuating sorafenib-induced ferroptotic cell death in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Adult male mice (C57BL6) aged 12 weeks were purchased from HUAFUKANG Bioscience Co, Ltd (Beijing, China) and housed in controlled temperature with free access to water and standard pellet chow. The animal studies were approved by the General Hospital of Northern Theatre Command Animal Care Committee. All experiments were carried out in accordance with institutional regulations and in adherence with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals issued by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH Publication, 8th Edition, 2011). Additionally, the study was reported in accordance with ARRIVE guidelines. After an accommodation period of 7 days, the mice were randomly assigned into the following groups (n = 18/group): control group, control + Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1)/Erastin/EX527 group, ethanol (EtOH) group, EtOH + Fer-1 group, EtOH + Icar group, EtOH + Icar + Erastin group, EtOH + Icar + EX527 group.

Response Description Icariin activated atrial SIRT1-Nrf-2-HO-1 signaling pathway, while EX527 not only reversed these effects, but also abolished the therapeutic effects of icariin. Moreover, the stimulatory effects on GPX4, SLC7A11 and the suppressive effects on ACSL4, P53 conferred by icariin were blunted by EX527 treatment. These data demonstrate that ferroptosis plays a causative role in the pathogenesis of ethanol-induced atrial remodeling and susceptibility to atrial fibrillation.

Male C57BL/6J mice (6-8 weeks of age, weighing 18-22 g) were provided by at the Centre for Animals of Central South University (Changsha, China). To prepare the seizure mouse model, the mice underwent the intrahippocampal injection of KA as described in our previous investigation. For short, mice were anesthetized with sodium phenobarbital (50 mg/kg, i.p.) and carefully placed on a stereotaxic apparatus. Then, KA (1 uL, 250 ng/uL dissolved in saline) was stereotactically injected into the hippocampus according to the following coordinates: anteroposterior -2.0 mm; lateral -1.3 mm; dorsoventral -1.2 mm. After injection, the infusion needle was kept in place for 5-10 min to avoid liquid reflux. Mice in the control group underwent the same surgical procedure but received injection with an equal volume of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) instead of KA.

Five-week-old male BALB/c mice were purchased from SLC Japan (Shizuoka, Japan). The animals were maintained in a pathogen-free animal facility under a 12 h light/dark cycle in a temperature (22 )- and humidity-controlled environment, in accordance with the institutional guidelines approved by the Committee for Animal Experimentation of Nara Medical University, Kashihara, Japan, following the current regulations and standards of the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (approval no. 12924, 5 November 2020). Animals were acclimated to their housing for seven days before the start of the experiment. For the peritoneal dissemination tumor model, CT26 cancer cells (1 x 107 in 0.2 mL per mouse) were injected into the mouse peritoneal cavity. To measure tumor weight, mice were euthanized on Day 12 and the tumors were excised, while the peritoneal tumors were dissected from the intestine, mesenterium, diaphragm, and abdominal wall, with gross removal of non-tumor tissues. The largest tumor was formed on the diaphragm, and paraffin-embedded sections of the excised diaphragmatic tumor were prepared and stained with hematoxylin-eosin. BBR was diluted with distilled water to produce a final concentration of 48 mg/mL. The solutions were ultrasonically treated for 1 h, and fully vortexed for 30 min. BBR solution was administered by free drinking. The intake calculated from the amount of water consumed was 15.2 mg/kg body weight/day.

Response Description L. lactis MG1363-pMG36e-GLP-1 exerts neurotrophic effects via activating the Keap1/Nrf2/GPX4 signalling pathway to down-regulate ACSL4 and up-regulate FSP1 to suppress ferroptosis. These results indicated that the neurotrophic effects of the next-generation probiotics L. lactis MG1363-pMG36e-GLP-1 against MPTP-induced Parkinsonism are mediated by modulating oxidative stress, inhibiting ferroptosis, and redressing dysbiosis.

The mice (23-25 g, 8-10 weeks old) were subjected to transientmiddle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) to induce cerebral ischemia as previously described protocol . Briefly, mice were anesthetized with intraperitoneal injection of pentobarbital sodium (60 mg/kg) and subcutaneous injection of meloxicam (10mg/kg) during tMCAO operation. Monofilament with a silicon coating on the tip and a diameter of 0.12 mm (A5-122, Beijing Cinontech Co. Ltd., China) was inserted into the ICA from CCA to occlude the middle cerebral artery (MCA) for 1.5 h. The suture was then removed to restore blood flow for another 22.5 h reperfusion. Sham control mice were subjected to similar surgical operations without MCA occlusion. Specifically, the monofilament was inserted only 5 mm above the carotid bifurcation and withdrew immediately in the Sham group.

In this study, 30 male Sprague Dawley rats (325-375 g) anesthetized using pentobarbital (1.5 g/kg, i.p.) were used for heart infarct studies,Western blot analysis, and qPCR. The isolated hearts were perfused in a Langendorff system. A water-filled latex balloon was inserted into the left ventricle cavity via mitral valve and linked to a physiological pressure transducer (AD Instruments, MLT884) for continuous monitoring of left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP) and end diastolic pressure (LVEDP). Left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) was calculated as the difference between LVSP and LVEDP (LVDP = LVSP-LVEDP). Measurements were recorded using PowerLab system and Chart 8 software (ADInstrument, Bella Vista, New South Wales, Australia). The hearts were stable for 30 min, and then subjected to 45 min of global ischemia by halting perfusion, followed by 1 h of reperfusion with Krebs-Henseleit (KH) bicarbonate buffer gassed with 95% O2, 5% CO2 at 37 (pH 7.4). The infarcted myocardium was measured using triphenyltetrazolium chloride(TTC, 25 mg/mL) staining. The KH buffer containing 118 mM NaCl, 4.8 mM KCl, 1.2 mM KH2PO4, 1.2 mM MgSO4, 25 mM NaHCO 31.3 mM CaCl2, and 11 mM glucose was filtered through a 0.22 uM pore before use.

Response Description Bleomycin (BLM) can induce the inhibition of cellular GPX4, leading to the generation of lipid ROS. Besides, BLM treatment significantly increased the expression levels of ACSL4 but similarly decreased those of FSP1. TfR1 expression was significantly increased by BLM treatment but decreased by BLM + DFO treatment. These findings indicate that iron metabolism disorder, iron deposition, and ferroptosis in ATII cells may be involved in the pathogenesis of BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis.

All mice used in our in vivo studies were 8-week-old males of the C57BL/6J background. Kidneys were exposed via a midline abdominal incision and bilateral renal pedicle clamping for 35 min using microaneurysm clamps (Aesculap Inc., Center Valley, PA, USA). Throughout the surgical procedure, the mice were kept under isoflurane narcosis, and their body temperature was maintained at 36-37 by continuous monitoring using a temperature-controlled, self-regulated heating system (Fine Science Tools, Heidelberg, Germany). After clamps were removed, kidney reperfusion was confirmed visually before the abdomen was closed in two layers using standard 6-0 sutures. To maintain fluid balance, all mice were supplemented with 1 ml of prewarmed PBS administered intraperitoneally directly after surgery. After 48 h of reperfusion, the mice were sacrificed, blood samples were obtained by retrobulbar puncture, and kidneys were collected for analysis.

Sixty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats (2 weeks), weighing 20-30 g. All animals were brought from the Institute of Medical Laboratory Animals at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and were kept in the same unit in a temperature-controlled environment [(22 ± 1) ]. The rats were fasted for 12 h before the experiment and drank water freely. After being numbered according to body weight, the rats were randomly divided into four groups using the random number table. The number of rats in each group was 16. The experimental groups were as follows: sham-operated group (S group, n = 16), the model group receiving HIR (HIR group, n = 16), sevoflurane group treated (HIR + Sev group, n = 16), and desferrioxamine treated group [deferoxamine (HIR + Sev + DFO) group, n = 16]. In HIR+Sev and HIR + Sev + DFO groups, rats were placed in an anesthetizing chamber and exposed to 3.6% sevoflurane (Cayman, 23996, USA) with complete oxygen for 2 h, and sham and HIR group rats were conducted with the same procedure without sevoflurane exposure. DFO (100 mg/kg, MCE, HY-B0988, China) was administered continuously daily for 6 days before surgery in the HIR + Sev + DFO group. Other groups were given equal amounts of saline.

A 1-cm midline incision was made over the thoracic vertebrae, and laminectomy on T10 and the caudal half of T9 vertebrae was performed. Spinal cord contusion injury was conducted by NYU Impactor Model III (W.M. Keck Center for Collaborative Neuroscience Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, United States) using a 10-g node dropping freely from a height of 2.5 cm and muscles and skin sutured in layers. Sham controls underwent laminectomy without the contusion. To prevent infection at the incision, cefuroxime sodium was applied for 3 days after injury. The bladders were emptied manually twice daily in the first week after injury.

Response Description Edaravone not only rescues the ferroptosis negative regulators, xCT and GPX4, but also downregulates those pro-ferroptosis factors, ACSL4 and 5-LOX. Therefore, secondary injury below the lesion site is reversed by edaravone via ferroptosis inhibition. And in the acute phase of spinal cord injury (SCI), edaravone reduced neuronal cell death and neuroinflammation.
